“Statins lower LDL, but they do not change outcomes in any significant fashion.” Dr. Jack Wolfson (cardiologist)
The statin industry generates 20 billion a year and has caused life-threatening nutrient deficiency in millions of otherwise healthy people. There has been active discouragement to publish any negative studies on the effects of statins by those aboard the lucrative statin gravy train.
In the U.S. alone, 40 million adults take statins, despite the questionable effectiveness and safety they are still being recommended for many people. The use of lucrative statins doubled among U.S. adults from 2000 to 2011 in the false belief that they reduce heart disease risk.
Cholesterol is still largely vilified, and statin use is still heavily promoted. In spite of “target” cholesterol levels having been achieved, a systemic review by DuBroff et al published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine stated:
“The negative results of numerous cholesterols lowering randomized controlled trials call into question the validity of using low density lipoprotein cholesterol as a surrogate target for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.”
The problem is people don't change their lifestyle. There are hidden sources of arterial inflammation. Like wheat which contains a protein which is inflammatory. And carbs in general need cut drastically. Fasting once a week for 24hrs takes a lot of strain off your pancreas and kidneys allowing them to rest/heal.
Exactly. as you pointed out lifestyles have changed. We used to do more physical labor. Now with TV and computers people sit more then exercise. Fasting is good. It is important that people get the correct information to base their decisions on.
